1 Samuel 11:12-15

12Then the people said to Samuel, "Who is it that said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."

13But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the Lord has worked salvation in Israel."

14Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingdom."

15So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the Lord, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
